With the exception of IgG trough levels, data are for the efficacy period

ITT intent-to-treat, N number of patients in age group, SBI serious bacterial infections, CL confidence limit, CI confidence interval, NA not applicable

aPrimary efficacy endpoint

bThe total number of days in the study was 3,290 (children), 986 (adolescents), and 4,469 (adults)

cThe total number of days from patient diaries was 3,406 (children), 1,020 (adolescents), and 4,607 (adults)

dData excluding the patient who suffered from recurrent pneumonias

eData from a post hoc nonparametric analysis of the change in IgG levels from baseline to the efficacy period (Infusions 12–17): children (mean change from baseline, 0.920; Hodges–Lehmann point estimate, 0.680; two-sided 95% CI, 0.030, 1.500); adolescents (mean change from baseline, −0.089; Hodges–Lehmann point estimate, −0.152; two-sided 95% CI, −0.770, 0.810); adults (mean change from baseline, 0.366; Hodges–Lehmann point estimate, 0.377; two-sided 95% CI, −0.058, 0.838)

fData from a post hoc nonparametric analysis of the change in IgG levels from baseline to the entire study period (Infusions 12–41): children (mean change from baseline, 0.846; Hodges–Lehmann point estimate, 0.683; two-sided 95% CI, 0.055, 1.445); adolescents (mean change from baseline, 0.145; Hodges–Lehmann point estimate, −0.020; two-sided 95% CI, −0.370, 1.300); adults (mean change from baseline, 0.386; Hodges–Lehmann point estimate, 0.355; two-sided 95% CI, −0.090, 0.820)
